It is the photograpoher that makes the photograph, the camera is only a tool
with which he/she takes the photograph - there are very few poor cameras
available these days. Any of the currently available DSLRs will produce
perfectly acceptable images.
I sometimes wonder if camera snobs ever take any pictures?
